Yes, and fast for consistency. Time of day for the injection will be individual preference, I for one remember best in the morning.

Some men sleep better closer to their injection while others are the exact opposite.

It makes sense to do labs Monday morning before your injection as this will be your lowest point.
 
Why do we always want the lowest point, I agree with testing there but we should also test at the peak and the middle to see what is happening. There could be wildly varying levels of hormones especially in guys with low shbg
 
I dont know anything but expect your levels are likely very stable at thouse levels no mater when you test. I do every 3.5 days and my TT is almost the same every day when I tested every day (testosterone cypionate). On TRT you are not making test anymore so time of day should not be an issue.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
